Well then I guess poland is one among few countries chinese hosting services don't give a f*ck about. I just can tell you pictures from the top of this page (from imgur) loaded instantly, while the two pics from poco.cn took several minutes to load. Very often they don't load at all which is quite annoying. I can imagine if pics works fine in yours countries you won't complain but IMO there should be policy on these boards for posting pictures only on globally reliable hosting services

Apparently not just me

I guess others poland users have similar problems.

It's not only in Poland, here in the Netherlands also very slow loading speed.
Waiting for 3 minutes already for 2 pictures.

so back on topic now. in the last pictures we (except our members from poland) saw that we have quite some progress with the steel. i really hope that with this the main core really really soon can start, it is about time

From the posts above yours it looks like it depends on the moment (at least for uk and netherlands too). This time they loaded for me in about one minute. But still significantly slower than other two images from imgur. Well nevermind, harry chao promised to posts images on imgur from now on.

Thats weird, it doesn't resize my pics. I take pics in CE3 at 2500x1600, then upload them, and it keeps them the same size and quality.

It may depend on what quality setting you are using in your pictures. I save them with my graphic editor and after uploading the image is usually reduced in size even if not going over the 2MB limit. Sometimes by much but sometimes just by a little bit. The problem is that quality is also affected. I emailed Imgur asking about that and got a reply that they are using 'loseless' image processing which 'does not' reduce quality but only eliminates unnecessary data. Then I replied them showing two images one of which was processed by Imgur with a noticeable loss in quality. I didn't get a reply which was the reason I stopped using it.

Huh, thats interesting, aren't there some other sites you could try like Image shack. By the way, when I said CE3, I am talking about Cryengine 3, the engine used for Crysis 2

There's min.us if you want free lossless image hosting. It's a lot slower though, so I only use it for huge pictures that I don't want resized. Imgur is the best even with the barely noticeable compression imo, easy to use, fast, and convenient
